John Boehner's got a lot of Friends

For your consideration, the Friends of John Boehner. In case you haven't heard, Speaker Boehner went along with democrat Chuck Schumer's Ex - Patriot Act meant to stick it to those who renounce citizenship, an ex post facto law extraordinaire. Makes me think that someone who's name started with a Z might have gone off the reservation. The Left Coast Liberal has the outrage, I'll just give you some clues, let your eyes wander down the list and count up the banksters, Big pharm, etc. you'll find. These are the people who pay for such laws that retain power for them and shut you out. Some might have just thrown in money for Boehner, thinking that they were supporting a Republican to reduce the government. Hopefully, they're wiser now.
